As part of the CMIP6 OMIP data request, I would like to request the new standard name
square_of_sea_surface_salinity (units: 0.001^2) Sea surface salinity is usually abbreviated as "SSS". It is the salinity of sea water near the surface (including the part under sea-ice, if any), and not the skin salinity (as obtained by satellite retrievals). For the salinity of sea water at a particular depth or layer, a data variable of sea_water_salinity with a vertical coordinate axis should be used. "square_of_X" means X*X. This new quantity is the direct salinity counterpart to the existing square_of_sea_surface_temperature. This should complete all standard names required for the OMIP physics data request (https://goo.gl/Rhrcwp) https://github.com/cmip6dr/CMIP6_DataRequest_VariableDefinitions/issues/291 Thanks, P
